Most of us grow up with different aspects of pop culture that never really seem to disappear. This includes the music we listened to and the shows that we watched. One of those television shows featured four retired women in the form of “The Golden Girls.” Although I was about five when [...]

Within the past week there have been two cases of murder-suicide in my state. However, Maryland’s not the only place where this act is popping up and its not crazy to think that murder-suicides involving family are up, because they are.

Originally I was going to write a posting about something political. However, I happened to check my email and discovered that the first team lead (direct supervisor) I had worked for, after leaving the military, had passed away earlier today. I’m not going to get detailed or personal because that’s not what this blog is [...]

In a relatively short period of time, it seems as though the Arctic Sea will be free of ice in the summer. You might think that it’s not that big of a deal. However, it is. When you get overheated at night, one thing you can do is push your bed-mate out of bed to [...]

Okay, so around the time of the elections, when Sen. Ted Stevens was convicted of seven felony charges of corruption, I might have had a few words to say about the whole deal, which, possibly, might not have been too kind to Sen. Stevens.
Let’s jump ahead to about yesterday when it came out in the [...]
